All Clients should consult their physician regarding their fitness for travel. YET encourages all Clients to seek their physician’s advice regarding necessary or advisable vaccinations, medical precautions, or other medical concerns regarding the entirety of the Client’s travel with YET.

YET does not provide medical advice. Clients must notify YET in writing prior to the due date of their final payment for their booking of any medical conditions, pregnancy, disability or any other mental and or physical condition which may impact the Client’s fitness to travel, and/or any continuing medical condition. Full disclosure of such information is a condition of traveling on any Product or in any capacity with YET.

Certain Products may not be suitable for all people due to restrictions posed by limitations in mobility, physical or cognitive disability, pregnancy or various other physical or mental conditions. It is the Client’s responsibility to assess the risks and requirements of each Product in light of such Client’s limitations, physical and mental fitness and condition, and any medical requirements or issues of such Client.

The condition of medical facilities in the countries you may visit on your Tour varies and YET makes no representations and gives no warranties in relation to the availability or standard of medical facilities in those regions.

Any special requirements must be disclosed to the Tour Operator at the time of booking. The Tour Operator will use reasonable efforts to accommodate special requirements or requests but this is not always possible given the nature of the destinations visited and availability of options outside a planned itinerary. Certain activities may be inaccessible to you if your mobility is limited in any way.

One adult may accompany up to two minors. Unless otherwise indicated in the Tour description or by the Tour Operator, the minimum age for minors travelling on any Tour vary based on the tour style.

All bookings with a minor are subject to review and approval by YET. If the consent of a parent, guardian or any other person is required by applicable law for any minor to travel, the accompanying adult is responsible for securing all consents, documentation and ensuring that they and the minor(s) meet all legal requirements to travel, to enter into and depart from applicable countries and regions. The Tour Operator will not be responsible for any fees, damages, or losses incurred as a result of any failure to secure necessary consents, permits, and approvals.

YET reserves the right to restrict the number of Minor Clients on any given Product where it deems necessary.

You understand and agree that these views of Payment are for informational purposes only and are not the official Payment for the Listings. If you (as a Traveler) request a booking, you will be charged with the amount of Payment in United States Dollar (USD$), if your booking is confirmed. The currency in which you will be charged may be determined by YET based on the payment method you select. If the currency in which you will be charged is different from the currency chosen by YET to receive payment, YET will be responsible for the required currency conversion processing, including the costs thereof, which will be calculated based on the most current applicable foreign exchange rate that YET has uploaded to the Site as of the date and time that your booking is confirmed (the "Applicable Exchange Rate"). You acknowledge that the Applicable Exchange Rate used for currency conversion processing may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect at the specific time such processing occurs because: (i) although YET would update the Applicable Exchange Rate on a regular basis, it would not update such rate on a real-time basis; and (ii) the Applicable Exchange Rate may include an incremental cost or margin that is not included in the applicable market rate. For the avoidance of doubt, YET would retain any profits (and will bear any losses) that result from such currency conversion processing due to changes in the applicable foreign exchange rate.

The published price of the Tour and any products or services offered by YET is subject to change at any time, before or after booking confirmation, up to 30 days before departure. Tours are priced and advertised exclusive of applicable sales taxes. After a confirmation invoice has been issued by YET, YET reserves the right to impose surcharges on any products or services booked for reasons arising from increases in transportation costs, fuel costs, dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airport charges, local operator costs, currency and exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes, or government action which impacts the price of the applicable products or services provided.

Where the increase of the original price of the applicable products or services (excluding add-ons, insurance and taxes), you may choose to either:

• (a) cancel the applicable booking without incurring any penalty; or
• (b) accept the change of price.

You must notify YET of your choice within 14 days of receipt of notice of the increase or you will be deemed to have accepted the price change and will be liable for payment of the increase.

Lifetime Deposits have no expiry and may be applied towards payment of a deposit on any other Tour offered by YET. The Lifetime Deposit is transferable and may be transferred by you to another individual of your choosing by providing notice to the Tour Operator in writing.

For the avoidance of doubt, only the deposit amount will form part of the Lifetime Deposit. The Lifetime Deposit has no cash value. Only one Lifetime Deposit may be applied per person per product booked. A Lifetime Deposit must be applied to a new Tour booking that is of equal or greater value to the cancelled Tour for which the Lifetime Deposit was originally received. A Lifetime Deposit may not be applied to the same or similar dates of travel.

YET will not be liable in any way for death, bodily injury, illness, damage, delay or other loss or detriment to person or property, or financial costs both direct and indirect incurred, or for YET failure to commence, perform or complete any duty owed to you if such death, delay, bodily injury (including emotional distress or injury), illness, damage or other loss or detriment to person or property is caused by Act of God, war or war like operations, mechanical breakdowns, terrorist activities or threat thereof, civil commotions, labor difficulties, interference by authorities, political disturbance, howsoever and where so ever any of the same may arise or be caused, riot, insurrection and government restraint, fire, extreme weather or any other cause whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of YET; or an event which YET or the Third Party Supplier of services, even with all due care, could not foresee any and all of which, individually and collectively, constitute “Force Majeure”.

CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IS MANDATORY THAT ALL CLIENTS OBTAIN TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH A MINIMUM MEDICAL, EVACUATION, AND REPATRIATION COVERAGE OF US$100,000 covering all applicable dates of any travel with YET and this insurance must cover personal injury and emergency medical expenses. On the first day of each Product tour, a YET Tour Leader or other YET representative will verify that all Clients have such insurance in place and coverage as per the required amounts above. It is strongly recommended and encouraged that Client’s also extend their coverage to include cancellation, curtailment, and all other expenses that might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience occurring to the Client. YET shall have no liability for loss, theft of or damage to baggage or personal effects of Clients while participating in a Product tour. Clients should not leave personal belongings unattended in any public areas, on board any mode of transportation, or elsewhere, and are responsible at all times for their own effects and belongings. YET cannot accept responsibility for and in no event shall be liable for loss or damage of valuables or other articles left in or on facilities used by YET such as hotels, homestays, vessels, expedition vehicles, or any other mode of transportation. The Client acknowledges that the cost of the tour does not include any insurance coverage for such Client, and that the Client is required to obtain separate coverage at an additional cost to the Product tour price. When obtaining travel insurance the Client must ensure the insurer is aware of the type of travel to be undertaken so that the insurer may properly cover travel on the applicable YET Product.

All discounts and any reduced pricing and/or promotional benefits are applied at YET’ sole discretion. From time-to-time YET may offer reduced pricing on selected Product tours. The reduced pricing applies strictly to new bookings, and bookings that have already been confirmed (which of these purposes shall mean bookings in respect of which payment of at least a deposit has been received by YET) are not entitled to the reduced pricing.

Client agrees to bring any complaints regarding a Product to YET as soon as possible in order to provide YET with the opportunity to address such complaint properly. Client agrees to inform the Tour Leader or other designated YET representative at the earliest opportunity, or to the YET local Office Manager at the nearest location to the applicable Product tour, or to YET’ Customer Service department directly. YET assumes no liability for complaints that are not properly brought to the attention of YET with sufficient notice for YET to resolve or attempt to resolve any Client complaints. Any complaint made after the completion of a Product tour must be received in writing by YET via its Agents or directly to head office at ‘info@youregypttours.net’  within 30 days of the end of the tour. Client acknowledges and agrees that YET will not accept any liability for claims received after this period.

Optional Extras (which for the purposes of this section mean any activity, transportation, meal, or any other product or service not expressly included in the Product description or itinerary, or in the price of the Product) do not form part of the tour or Product. Client agrees that any assistance given by YET’ Tour Leaders or other YET’ representative in arranging, selecting, or booking, any Optional Extras is purely at the request of the Client, and YET makes no warranties regarding such information and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever arising from any Optional Extras or participation thereon by any Client, or any information provided by any YET representative or Tour Leader regarding any Optional Extras. Accordingly, the Client hereby releases YET from all claims and causes of action arising from any damages, loss of enjoyment, inconvenience, or injuries related to Optional Extras.

YET is not responsible for any damages, expenses, losses, or claims which are attributable to the fault of any Client, the unforeseeable or unavoidable act or omission of a third party unconnected with the provision of any services that form any part of the Product(s), or a force majeure event (as herein defined).

YET is liable to the Client for any damage caused to Client by the failure to perform or the improper performance of the contract unless the failure or the improper performance is due to or arises from factors attributable to the consumer or to any third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for, are unforeseeable or unavoidable; nor shall YET be liable for any failure to perform or improper performance of the contract due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond the control of YET, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or an event which YET, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. If any damage arising from the non-performance or improper performance of the services involved in the Product tour, Client agrees that any compensation payable shall be limited in accordance with the applicable International Conventions that govern such services. In the case of damage other than personal injury resulting from the non-performance or improper performance of the services involved in the Product tour, the amount payable to the Client shall be limited to a maximum of the price which the Client paid for the Product, not including insurance premiums and administration charges.

THE CLIENT MUST COMMUNICATE AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY, IN WRITING, TO YET ANY SUCH FAILURE THAT THE CLIENT ALLEGES HAS OCCURRED. In the event that any loss, death, injury or illness is caused by the negligent acts and/or omissions of YET or of the third-party suppliers of any services.

Hotels, shuttle services or other constituent elements of a Product will be arranged by YET with suppliers local to the regions in which the Product operates, who may themselves engage the services of other local operators and/or sub-contractors. YET will at all times endeavor to appoint reputable and competent local suppliers. The terms and conditions of the suppliers will be applicable and are expressly incorporated into these Terms, and the Client assents to those terms and conditions and the limitations and obligations contained therein. These may limit or exclude liability of the supplier. The liability of YET will not exceed that of any supplier. All suppliers will be selected and assessed by YET in reference to local laws and regulations in Egypt. Neither YET nor any carrier is liable for the acts or omissions of any independent contractors.

In the event that any term or condition contained herein is unenforceable or void by operation of law or as being against public policy or for any other reason then such term or condition shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms or amended accordingly only to such extent necessary to allow all remaining terms and conditions hereof to survive and continue as binding. If any provision of these Terms is found to be so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

These Terms and Conditions shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon YET and the Client and their respective heirs, legal personal representatives, successors and assigns, as well as anyone named in any booking made by the booking Client on whose behalf the Client is purchasing any Product.
